JoCo in the Media

Comments

That is one of the pictures all taken by the same guy that JoCo got done professionally. They are on his website here, they were taken by Dale May. There are a few god ones I have spotted over time.One of which is here I quite like. It looks set up but interesting none the less.

I can't think of any others right now but there are some good lesser known pictures out there.

edit-bombed... i googled 'smart computing jonathan coulton' and it came up but the link didn't work when i tried it. i can still read it when i click the link for the google search but even copying the shortcut and pasting it in the address bar doesn't work. curious.

Finding the appropriate online group to match your interests can be a monumental task. So each month, we scour the Internet to bring you the friendliest forums and most interesting bloggers the Web has to offer.

Yet no mention of our friendly forums? We've got the friendliest effing forums on the entire effing web, dammit. Jerks. I hate people like that! [/sarcasm]

So, I've been noticing that Chuck Lorre was really overwhelmed by his reception at Comicon. Maybe now is the time to hit him up about a Joco walk on cameo for the Big Bang Theory. i'm wondering if [email protected] would work? (maybe even if it doesn't hundreds of emails hitting it with one request is sure to get someones attention right?) Problem is, how do you write a short paragraph to capture someones attention and yet adequetly cover the scope of a genius smashing expectations that is JoCo?

Here are 3 podcasts that Hodgman and Coulton did for NYT funnypages in 2005. I did not see it on the Wiki anywhere but I may have missed it. This is a link to one of the podcasts... under the lady in the car... click on the link. Then I did not bother to search for the others but just found them by changing the 3 after cast to a 2 and then to a 1 in this link which is the link in the above article.

This was interesting. You can tell John Hodgman's interest in radio is matched with an aptitude for it. He's got the voice, he's done his research, he goes after the good questions. There's even an echo of his skull-ring & leather jacket period as he starts riffing on heavy metal music while trying to find Elmore Leonard in Detroit somewhere. Alas, though, his erudition demands an audience that's not exactly a mass audience. More a Jeopardy audience. Or a JoCo fan audience.

Len's flickr photos from New Media Expo. Some of is comments are funny... an artist and comedian. Funny how Paul professes his crush on Felicia Day and now these photos.. it is a tiny online world. Wait until Paul hears about this....

Hehe yeah I noticed you got a mention! I think he was more marvelling at your ability to control your WoW habit enough to hold down a fulltime job and have a creative and productive hobby! I know, from experience of not being about to do that, that its hard!

The Penny Arcade site is a blog so that takes up most of the front page, just like JoCo's site. And also like JoCo's site there are links across the top and around the page to take you to various other places on the site.

Well, it works well for the website of a musician, but as far as I know it's not common for webcomics to not have a comic on the front page... the only other one I know of that does that is phdcomics, and their front page, while a little annoying, doesn't have much text on it and makes it quite clear that it's a webcomic and where you need to click to get to the content. I guess if Penny Arcade is primarily a blog, with a comic as a secondary attraction, then it makes sense.

Giant in the Playground (the home of Order of the Stick) is structured the same way, with the difference that he updates the main page far less often than Gabe and Tycho do. But the site began as an outlet of his game stuff, not as a home for the comic, so as a consequence .. the comic isn't the main page (even though it's the sole reason people go there nowadays).

Heh. Yeah. Basically, it's a girl and a robot coming out of Coulton's trailer, and another guy either coming out of it or coming from somewhere else and giving two thumbs up, and they're all calling anyone who doesn't see a joke in that a retard. I'm glad I'm on this forum and not that one.
